Six Flags Inc. kicked off its daily summer operating season by rolling back prices at its Vallejo theme park in response to the sluggish economy.

Adult gate admission to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is $39.99, down from the previous $49.99. All tickets purchased online go for the child rate of $29.99.

The price for a season pass -- $79.99 -- is unchanged.

Six Flags spokeswoman Nancy Chan said Tuesday that the company decided to cut prices "in response to things like higher gas prices and the overall state of the economy."

Shares of Six Flags, which is based in New York City, were trading at $1.97 at noon on the New York Stock Exchange, down 1 cent.
